HSUPA is High Speed UPLOAD Packet Access. It's very rare that your device would require these speeds for uploading data. HSUPA is also not part of your contract agreement. Only the download speeds are. Look into it.

Thus how would this type of update affect any of our bandwidth access? Simply put, it wouldn't. Service interruptions are something I'm more than positive AT&T would much rather avoid.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The congestion of the AT&T network varies city by city. If you have excellent connection, good for you because you happen to live in a area that does not have a lot of smartphone traffics. Not so in big cities.

You're living in fantasy land, my friend. No ISP in US ever guarantees connection speed for consumer grade services. On the contrary, all ISPs oversells its bandwidth (the only way to make money).

They only guarantee bandwidth for commerical grade services. Hence why business pay thousands per month for essential the same bandwidth while individuals pay less than 1/10 of that. So, if a company pays for 10mbps connection, the ISP must ensure the QoS and preserve enough bandwidth for that customer. However, if a consumer pays for 10mbps connection, ISP put 10 or 20 or even more accounts on the same 10mbps pipe to share the bandwidth. So, if you're the only one on line that time, you get all 10mbps. But if 20 ppl is online at the same time, your effective bandwidth is about 500kbps.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Like I said, it's only in specific markets where the backhaul is reaching congestion thresholds on a regular basis. I would venture a guess that smartphone density in Detroit is lower than some other parts of the country.

Really? What data rate did you pay for? Is it in your contract? I think you'll find that you have no guaranteed data rate unless you are signed up to some sort of QoS plan that I've never heard of. You are on what everyone else is on and it's called "best effort data" meaning it could be 7.2Mbps or it could be 1kbps. Check the agreed service levels in your contract before making such a claim.

Uhhh, they do. They have whole systems dedicated to doing exactly that.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
You beat me to it!
[Captivate General] RaptorOne3:
You're all full of it and have no idea what you're talking about...

A whole service dedicated to adjusting bandwidth speeds? Are you serious??? C'MONNN... Come back down to Earth. What service provider would even allocate funding for such a redundant department?

Sorry for the misunderstanding on the service quality however.

I didn't mean they can guarantee you the actual data speed from the device to the tower. HOWEVER, they ARE in fact obligated to guarantee you the BANDWIDTH ACCESS to the service they provide, from the tower to their servers.

Data rates from your device to the cell antennae can vary greatly simply by obstacles blocking the radio signal.

For this reason alone you cannot blame the carrier for a slow connection...

But your bandwidth access on their servers should never change. If it does, you can file a claim against them because that is against the law.

Look into it.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
LoL, looks like someone can't handle the truth :)
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
Ummm... he is actually correct. Throttling is done at routers where they control what is going across the network, the amount of bits going across the network, and the speed at which it travels.

Where some misinformation is being had is that AT&T does not own all the infrastructure it uses. It has to negotiate with other companies to use their hardware in order to put data out. This isn't just a matter of speed from a cell phone tower to your device. We are talking about sending and receiving from towers to data centers which can involve various media types. Some areas don't have fiber going from towers to data centers and are still running copper lines. Some of that copper is just twisted pair in some places which have as yet to be upgraded to coaxial.

The bottom line is that, yes, they do control the flow of data on their networks and in some instances they have no choices about the speed at which it goes for various reasons. Not everyone is going to get solid 4G, just like not everyone gets solid 3G right now.

Edit: And since they are upgrading their infrastructure, which means hardware and negotiating contracts with other companies who will carry their bandwidth demands, then yes, they will slow down their network as it is being built up and tested. They have no other choice. It isn't like they have a second massive network they can just siphon all their traffic to while they do their work.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
No they can't. Do a simple math:

There will be only one data line from each tower to AT&T data center. Let's assume that data line is 100mbps (copper lines are much much slower). If AT&T guarantees each 3G customer has 3.6 mbps bandwidth, that means the tower can only handle about 30 smartphones. Any more, they either have to kick somebody out in order to guarantee the bandwidth as you said, or they have to slow everyone down so that more phones can use the same tower to transmit data. Same goes to cable modem and DSL highspeed connections. They all have to share the data pipe one way or another. There is no guarantee of bandwidth unless you sign up a business service ($$$).
[Captivate General] bballer182:
Interesting. I noticed slower speeds as well. Thanks for the info.
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
ever take a look and read your contracts? usually you have no power and they can screw you over when ever and where ever they want. Basically there to get them business and lock you in.

take a look at comcast for an example. there internet, which was unlimited is now capped at 250gb.

I also have noticed slower speeds and dropped calls the past 2 weeks. prior to that i had no problems.

I'm curious to see if there are doing upgrades/maintenance in my area, or if there has been a boom in smart phone traffic in my area...

Any where to find that information out?

Im in the saint paul area of Minnesota.
[Captivate General] bballer182:
Thats why i have fiber DSL instead of sh!tty Comcast!;)
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
In Ohio I've also noticed significantly worse performance with my phone. Like... the pings have been much worse, and where I am (Toledo) people with AT&T have been having trouble even getting service without an unlocked, non-AT&T phone. I was forced to use my nokia 5610, which honestly didn't bother me, I love that phone. But it's still very strange. It'd be great if they got their network to be more reliable, and I'd gladly take a day or two of poor service for a great network.
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Yea, I plainly saw that using my Atrix 4G. It just doesn't... fell the same surfing on tthe internet with that phone.

I used it mostly on wifi but... meh, I love my HSUPA on the Captivate.
[Captivate General] ph00ny:
what kind of speed are we talking here?

i got this on my captivate earlier today in crowded nyc during peak hour
[Captivate General] RaptorOne3:
Oops DP.....
[Captivate General] RaptorOne3:
I take it youve never heard of Five Nine reliability.

Almost all high-speed data rates (3G+) are considered sensitive traffic contracts. I suggest you learn more about your data plan...

They are in fact bound by a QoS. At least they are in my contract. lol...

I wouldn't let them get away with the crap you're talking about. That's like paying for a V8 5 speed manual Mustang and the dealer selling you a V6 automatic. Then just saying, well they didn't guarantee it was going to be a V8... WTF??

You pay for a service. Stand up for your consumer rights. Read your ENTIRE contract. Learn how to grab THEM by the balls.

Sorry about your luck.
[Captivate General] RaptorOne3:
Have a look here and see if you change your mind about them traffic shaping high speed data networks. Which im sure happens to a certain degree but not as described by the op and others with lack of service completely... Most traffic shaping is done so you don't experience a loss in service or a degradation below the minimum guarantee.

If you pay for 3G you better be getting those speeds or around those speeds (there's a minimum rate described in your contracts fine print, read it.). If not you have grounds to complain or file claim for violation of qos.

http://www1.cse.wustl.edu/~jain/cse574-06/ftp/cellular_qos.pdf
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Why don't you post what's minimum rate described in your contracts? It's not that I don't believe you. I can't find my contract :)
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Five 9s? Core and RAN suppliers have five 9 commitments to operators. You as a subscriber get a zero 9s SLA on throughput. In other words, you get what is classified as a "best effort" data service which means the network will try and give you high quality throughput BUT (and its a big BUTT) there IS NO GUARANTEE! Busy hour, congestion, outages and network management configurations may be such that your throughput will be lower than advertised.

As far as I know, no NA wireless operator has offered QoS on a packet switched data service.

AT&T has taken devices that support HSUPA and disabled the capability. Why? It is a crude form of network management done at a time when AT&T's network is over utilized in key markets. Other techniques they use include throttling in the core and selectively limiting HSPA services in over saturated areas. This is a well known fact for people who design and manage these networks (like me).
[Captivate General] RaptorOne3:
I think we're having a bit of a misunderstanding.

I'm referring to the reliability of the network itself. Not the reliability of the communication between a given device and the radio tower.

The communication between a device and a radio tower has far too many factors to even be able to comprehend a guarantee on such a thing.

However, the service provided to those towers by the provider, is generally guaranteed. Again, with exception to technical failures and maintenance.

However, I do wish to apologize for my arrogance on a previous statement of mine where I said providers do not utilize "throttling" or traffic shaping. Providers do in fact adjust traffic. However, I think that how some people have presented the presence of such activity is a little exaggerated and possibly off base.

Traffic shaping is done with the sole purpose of optimizing connectivity and ensuring that there are no interruptions in service provided. It is also used to place "caps" on connectivity to ensure mutual contract compliance in some instances.

This should never affect the end user in a manner where they lose connectivity or experience a limited connectivity state with the provider when full radio connection is present from the tower. This would be counter productive and would cause more problems than it would assistance for the provider.

The notion that they reduce connectivity below "standard" or "throttle back" connectivity to a "limited connectivity" state is a little off base in my opinion.
[Captivate General] Nitroburner77:
Either way, their contracts to the end user include the words "up to". It's generally in the medium sized print next to the huge print describing maximum speed.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Tachi91:
So my Zio updated to 2.2 and ever since then it turns on and just says com.android.process stopped and force closes then it restart and does it again.. I cleared Data/factory reset and cache... same thing...

any idea?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] L0cke:
Ah, if it's the official ROM you're running then I think that would be odexed. These mods only work on a deodexed ROM. That's why it won't change anything. I don't know of a way to do it on a odexed ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liorweitz:
oh, yes, you are right. i will change to deodexed rom, thanks.

and i saw that sombody asked you for a guide, any chance...?

thanks alot for your time and help!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] L0cke:
A guide isn't too easy, as there are a lot of steps. Depends on how familiar you are with smali/baksmali and .smali code files. If you know how to use these tools then you're on your way.

I'll try and have a go with the 'New Message' short cut, but can't promise anything as not sure when I'll have a chance to sit down and do it. But if I get it done I'll be sure to PM you :)

so just if you have time and thats.

thanks for everything!

[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
Greetings all,

I think I really messed up my phone. I went to flash a rom this morning, and I was getting a constant bootloop. I had Clockwork recovery on my phone, so I changed it to RA recovery. Now, I cannot mount my SD card to my computer in recovery....Is there any way I can go about trying to fix this? I should have waited for the weekend to do this, but I am getting to be a rom flashing nut. Any help would be greatly appreicated!
[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
Well, I ended up fixing this on my own. I ended up getting a micro sd card reader, mounting the SD card. I ended dumping MUIU onto the card, and installed that.
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
Sounds like coincidence. I would make sure reload latest AMON, and try another rom... unless you are liking MIUI.

What HBOOT are you using?

Also, make sure you are using the latest radio. I had a similar issue before I flashed the latest radio. haven't had an issue since

Thanks for the scripts. It's a bit late here. I will try em in the morning.

Btw, am not sure where Titanium Backup installs busybox. Some apps install busybox in their own folder. Just try Busybox installer from the market. Works fine.

Title says it all. If we have a list of sites, some people here can contact them and hopefully get it resolved sooner rather than later. Take a proactive approach I always say... well not all the time, but you know what I mean.

Post the sites in a list format, and I will update this post with the URLs, then I will also post who contacted them. If a site is fixed, post here also so we can show resolution to this issue.

Also, if someone contacts some sites, and posts that they did so, show them some thanks. This needs to be a group effort :)

If enough people contact these sites, then they will add the user agent string to their site.

if you're not currently tracking the issue that I'm talking about: In Honeycomb, the browser's default user agent string is "Android"; in previous versions of the OS, it's "Android Mobile." This is meant to serve as a way for Web sites to differentiate between large-screen and small-screen Android devices and then respond appropriately. Thus far, however, most Web developers haven't implemented support for the two strings, which is why both are currently being treated the same.

HAHA agreed! the makeover SUCKS!!! And i love how the first post with the redone site said "Here is why our new site IS better" or something to that affect... anyhow all it does is let them advertise more effectively. the setup is terrible, so i too am happy to get the mobile version! no site should be that difficult to navigate or even just read!

Also i read that if you type "about:debug" in the browser it will give many more settings one of which is for desktop browsing. did it on my captivate running serendipity and got lots of new setting but no desktop browsing, but then the xoom is a tablet running honeycomb...

sorry for double post...

Hey all, out of about 7 diff ROM's I have been pretty stuck on paragon RC5 and I just flashed RC6 last night and was wondering how I could get color menu's back. I know its small and stupid want, but I really liked the color menu's and green progress bar of RC5. I am still too new to post on the official Paragon ROM thread but I was just wondering if anyone figured out how to get them back. I noticed on the official thread there are 3 theme packs for paragon... black/green, black/blue, and black/red... If I flash one of these will I get color menu's and color progress bar back? Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveyBB:
If you look through the Paragon thread, you'll see that eSPyeL posted a CWM flashable file to restore the settings menu color and talked about releasing a 6.1 which would also restore color to the power button menu.
